A wide range of rocket propulsion test work occurs at he NASA John C. Stennis Space Center (SSC) including full-scale engine test activities at test facilities A-1, A-2, B-1 and B-2 as well as combustion device research and development activities at the E-Complex (E-1, E-2. E-3 and E-4) test facilities. One of the greatest challenges associated with operating a test facility is maintaining the health of the primary propellant system and test-critical support systems. The challenge emerges due to the fact that the operating conditions of the various system components are extreme (e.g., low temperatures, high pressures) and due to the fact that many of the components and systems are unique. The purpose of this paper is to briefly describe the experience and modeling techniques that are used to operate the unique test facilities at NASA SSC that continue to support successful propulsion testing.
